I agree. I think the common use case will be to have per instance storage.
A question that arises is: what happens if the window object already
provides storage? Should I use the widget storage or the window's
storage. I personally think that they should be the same object (i.e.,
widget.preference just references whatever the Window storage object
is... I don't have the spec Web Storage spec handy, so I can't
remember what it is called (window.storage?)).
Kind regards,
